Abstract
The nurse's role in the multidisciplinary rehabilitation team is developing, but has received little analysis in therapy literature. Without it, effective interdisciplinary patient rehabilitation is difficult to achieve. This article explores some of nursing's unique contributions and also factors which have hindered its development. It proposes that nursing is an essential component of effective and efficient rehabilitation outcomes.Keywords
